Atlanta Falcons lose 2016 pick

[BoysFan4ever]

It's hilarious how all these people who claim to care oh-so-much about "competitive balance, fairplay and integrity of the game" get really pissed at you when you dare to mention the Falcons (proven cheaters), the Browns (proven cheaters), the Jets (proven cheaters) or the Vikings (proven cheaters).

This isn't about rule-breaking. It's about nothing else beyond attacking the Patriots.

And I'm POSITIVE you have called the league office about each of those teams and expressed your disdain about their lack of integrity right? I live in ATL...if you want to send me a letter I can take it right to the Falcons office!

See what I mean BBTOTB? Not only do they get angry and defensive when you mention those other confirmed instances of cheating, but they ridicule you for even mentioning it!!



They expose their own blatant hypocrisy by showing how they don't care the slightest about rules violations. They don't care the slightest about integrity of the game. All they care about is attacking the Patriots.

Extra crowd noise: "shut up we don't want to talk about that!!"

Illegally heating footballs (which is virtually identical to what the Patriots are accused of doing): "shut up we don't want to talk about that!!"

A ball deflated by the weight of a 1 dollar bill: "ahhhhhhh! It's the end of the world!!! National headlines!!!!! 1 year suspension!!"

I'm not mad. Just wondering why people post on a Dallas board when they obviously aren't Dallas fans.

Obviously some of your Hatriot fans are mad - this and similar threads keep growing with spitting matches and personal attacks - anything except their true reasons for hating the Patriots.

Being more open than the Hatriots, it's easy to be upset with anyone, anything you invested a lot of time in that's let you down. Once this was a systematic even-keeled team that drafted and culled talent better than anyone else, prepared for a game better than anyone, outwitted, and out-innovated everybody, feared inside the last two minutes because they often snatched victory from defeat. After nearly five decades, gave up on this team, then as it looked like maybe, maybe Jerry Jones is tampering less, I hear members hating on the team currently most like the Cowboys before the Jones regime for reasons (???) they are unable to articulate. It's one thing to be a non-fan of the team most like the Cowboys was, but to hate them? They are doing so many of the things Tom Landry did.

You can't be a Hatriot and a Landry fan at the same time. A lot of people here obviously hate what Landry did on many levels, yet they call themselves Cowboys' fans.

You gave up on theCowboys remember? Go lecture somewhere else. I dislike the Pats. Big whoop. I'm a Dallas fan FOREVER.

This is the most ridiculous statement I have read on this board. Congrats for that honor!

Landry was a man that EVERYONE respected because he was a man of principle and integrity. A man full of dignity and grace. A man that had respect for others in the league and the league itself and he followed the rules. Belicheat and the Cheatriots are the exact opposite of that in every way shape and form. Win at all costs and the rules be dam***. Belicheat is a POS and has ZERO respect for the league or other players and coaches in the league.

He can think whatever the heck he wants. I don't need a lecture about who to cheer for..who to dislike.

I am able to..uh...ARTICULATE.. that all on my very own!

You can't make this crap up.

More foaming at the mouth LOL

You cant make it up. I cant make it up. But the Cheatriots Lovers Duo here has made up plenty.

The investigation to determine whether or not there was even any wrong-doing is still ongoing.

Seriously. Read the news once in a while.

Oh, ok, then we're back to you being clueless about what really happened.

The NFL made absolutely no admission whatsoever about tampering with the footballs. Your own articles support my statement and disprove yours. The NFL said the balls were underinflated, but drew no conclusions regarding how they go to be that way.

The NFL, by that statement, admitted that balls were deflated as part of normal circumstances, but went with a full-blown investigation to determine that they were deflated as part of normal circumstances...

So back to the original point:

My point was that this was the ORIGINAL report from the Indianapolis reporter who broke the story. What the NFL admitted through their own words confirms the story...

Everything that followed, such as 2 out of 11 balls being deflated, the balls were subject to environmental pressures and so forth, such as Brady and BB being unaware until Monday, (despite their being a delay of game and the NFL having to re-pump balls) is just a bunch of hogwash. Those were most likely pushed from 'sources' to change perception enough such that the claims to the Pats cheating would lack 'credibility'.

The Assistant GM reporting the balls being deflated was what was originally reported by journalists who were sitting right next to him. They said he got on the phone with NFL officials right before half-time, was clearly angered and left. All of this coincided with the original story with the Colts LB.

All these guys pleading ignorance including the Colts HC on Monday clearly shows that they were ordered to keep silent by the NFL and whatever followed was nothing but spin, including BB and Brady's nonsensical claims of ignorance of the situation until Monday.

Back between the lines with a dramic decrease in the sniping.

Yeah. Sure. It's all a cover-up. In fact, the coverup is so widespread that even the Colts are participating in the cover-up.

Seriously, brah.... do ya know how stupid you sound????

The Assistant GM reported during the game the balls were deflated. The NFL confirmed this after the SB and prior to this, way before the SB, they confirmed the balls were deflated and they adjusted the balls during the half and they did not deflate via environmental conditions.

Thus, no matter how much you try and spin it, these are facts. So yeah, the Colts organization knew about it and to argue any other point is actually what sounds stupid. I'm pretty sure you realized this after I made you aware of this GM fact, otherwise you wouldn't have said:

Colts GM Ryan Grigson admitted he informed the NFL office of his suspicions prior to the AFCCG, so I am certainly not going to dispute that point. Of course, that raises the $64,000 question: Who did Grigson speak to and what did that person do with the accusation?

But then again, you probably didn't realize the implications...

You're making stuff up. The NFL has not spoken one single word about what caused the deflation. We all have our own little pet theories, but the league itself hasn't said a single thing.

As you say, facts are the facts. And the fact that you have to make stuff up to try and prove your point only shows how weak the point is to begin with.

are you not understanding?

...and what has happen to the Pats for deflatgate?

Well, according to Rogah they are innocent victims being singled out by the league . . . . . . . . . . . . yet somehow nothing has happened while the league drags this out so it can quietly be swept under Mr Kraft's rug.
